MS HM 505 in the Huntington Library contains the first known academic medical treatise in Middle English, Henry Daniel's Liber uricrisiarum. The manuscript includes more than a thousand English words that either predate, or are contemporary with, their earliest recorded occurrence according to the OED and MED.
